of the late Yasser Arafat, who was then the Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, and he sang "UE O MUITE ARUKOU", one of the most popular Japanese pop songs in the world. The other notable events during the journey included a tour with a local band in Miami, Florida, United States and almost signing a professional football player contract with a football club in Peru. He surely displayed his wide range of potential as a person and an artist at the places he visited, and he expanded his horizon at the same time. 2005–2009 After coming back from his journey around the world, he came up with his new stage name of Naoto Inti Raymi to restart his music career in Japan, with inspiration by his memorable travel experience at Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. In Quechuan language, one of the indigenous languages of the Inca Empire, "Inti" means the sun and "Raymi" means festival. While establishing his foundation as a musician by countless performances on the streets and in live houses, he had a life-changing opportunity to meet Kazutoshi Sakurai, the vocalist of Mr. Children, one of the most popular rock band in Japan. Naoto started joining Mr. Children’s concerts as a back chorus in 2008, and while doing that, he signed a contract with OORONG-SHA as a solo artist. Along with his commitment with Mr. Children, he kept performing solo at his own concerts and polishing his character and music. 2010– He made the third debut in his career with "Carnival?" in April 2010. Only eight months after that, he put on a successful solo concert at Nippon Budoukan, the mecca concert hall where all young Japanese artists dream of performing. The record releases were on a high pace in that year; the single "TAKARAMONO -KONO KOE GA NAKUNARUMADE-" one month after the debut in April, the first album "Shall we travel??" in July, and another single "ARITTAKE NO Love Song" in September. He also kept on visiting cities to perform, gradually at larger and larger venues and attracting bigger audiences and attention from the public accordingly. And his efforts came into fruition at the end of year 2012 as the appearance at Japan's annual New Year's Eve television music show "NHK KOUHAKU UTAGASSEN". After many more songs released and growth as a singer-songwriter, Naoto performed at KYOSERA Dome (Osaka) in 2015 in front of 40,000 fans.
